Renowned development economist, Dr. George Domfeh, has strongly criticized former President John Dramani Mahama for his recent comments on the value of a Dutch passport versus a PhD in Ghana.
Mahama had weighed in on a social media debate, attributing the sentiment expressed by a Ghanaian-born Dutch citizen to the economic difficulties faced by Ghanaians under the current administration.
Dr. Domfeh expressed his disappointment and frustration with Mahama’s remarks, stating that the former president’s support for the Dutch-Ghanaian’s comments was unbecoming.
He emphasized the importance of education, noting that it was the foundation of personal and national development. Dr. Domfeh argued that Mahama’s comments undermined the value of education and the hard work of Ghanaian scholars.

The incident has highlighted the ongoing conversation about the value of education and the challenges faced by Ghanaians at home and abroad. Dr. Domfeh’s strong stance has resonated with many, who see education as a vital key to unlocking Ghana’s potential.
